PS....

We're definitely going to Outback steakhouse tonight. I mean, we do need to get in as many dates as possible before the babe comes, right? I know. Hence the decision. I can't wait for that bloomin' onion!

PPS... Bryan and I went on a walk/hike today. When you go up around the Provo temple, it truly is a HIKE! It gave me contractions... is that a good thing? At one point I had to stop because I literally could not walk anymore. Kinda exciting, no? But then I got a blister on my heel and had to go home. haha

Pregnancy Journal

Alrighty Peeps.... We are getting down to the wire here! I am now 38 1/2 weeks, and I can't believe that it is time already for this baby to come! At the same time, I feel like these last few weeks are going slow and that this baby will NEVER get here. Nevertheless, I cannot believe that I'm gonna be a mama in just a few short days! I was just looking back through some of my pregnancy pictures, and I can't believe how much has changed! I now have this handsome little boy just waiting to come into my arms. :D Heres a little documentation of my pregnancy thus far:

16 weeks

(Back in the skinny stages!!!)

18 weeks

Big Jump: 27 weeks!

30 weeks

32 1/2 weeks

34 1/2 weeks

36 weeks

37 weeks

38 weeks

And thats just about it! I'm progressing right along, according to my doctors. Oh and by the way, no one told me how bad it hurts to be checked for dialation! Come on mothers!!! Its ok... now I know haha. I truly can't wait for this little baby! My one concern is my last Independent Study class! I am ALMOST done... two more assignments and a final, but I can DO IT! I truly don't have much desire to work on it, but I know I will definately not want to when the baby is here. I have to have them done by the end of March for graduation anyway, so I don't really have a choice. But its close! Bryan is so looking forward to being a dad, and I know he is going to be great. See you in a few days... with a baby!!!

Wedding

Well here are some picture of Megan's wedding! It was truly beautiful... even though it was raining at the temple! These are also the dresses that I worked very hard on! I thought that they turned out beautifully :D I might be a little biased though... I also made five others. Unfortunately, our other sister Megan couldn't make it to the wedding because of the weather! It snowed so terribly, and so they weren't able to come. Enjoy!

Bryan and I at the reception center

6 sisters!

Sisters... with Austin!

Me with baby Sage. She looked like a little puff ball in her dress!

The girls braving the storm :D

The beautiful couple!

In the waiting room at the temple!

25 weeks!

Well, here I am, 25 weeks Pregnant!

I don't like Pregnancy pictures of myself... because the rest of my body is looking a little rounder than normal too! It's all for the cause! This baby boy is very mobile, and I can't wait to meet and cuddle him.

Other recent activities:

We made Gingerbread houses at my sister Megans house, and were aided by two of my cute nieces, Ella and Lucy. I thought our house turned out cute! I added a shredded cotton ball to our chimney, and Bryan helped me make this ugly little snowman! We think it looks like Gonzo, because of the nose... that came about by pieces of gum drops.

We also made Pizza the other night. I got the dough recipe from Megan as well, and it turned out so good! I don't have a kitchenaid mixer or anything like that, so I kneaded it by hand... I just used those wonderful skills my mama taught me when I was a little girl. Punch and Roll!

Also, we have finals starting tomorrow. It will be SO NICE to have this craziness over with! These will be my last finals, but Bryan's still got a few more semesters. I am also making Bridesmaid dresses for my step sister's wedding... 11 of them! Call me crazy (I am) but its definately been an adventure. I am almost done with them, and then will have my kitchen table back! I know Bryan will be happy about that.

Right after the break, we will be moving! We need a two bedroom for this little munchkin that will be joining us soon, and unfortunately, we couldn't find anything in our ward boundaries. But we found a great apartment in Wymount (the newer, nicer side) and so we will be moving there in the beginning of January! I am very excited to get settled in, and start preparing a room for the baby. So many new and exciting changes!

Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you have a more relaxing week than me :D

oh too funny :D

Ok so I posted this last year around Christmas time, but I think its time for a repeat... this is just too funny to not hear again! Everyone go listen to this!

Introducing...

BABY DUFFIN!!!!

Coming: March 27th, 2011

So yes, many of you have heard already, but I just wanted to let you all know that I heard the HEARTBEAT yesterday, and it was QUITE exciting :D Our baby is alive and active (as "it" kicked the microphone many times... "it" doesn't like being pushed on!)

In five weeks, I don't have to say "IT" anymore! So... the question is, will I be enjoying lots of

PINK

or

BLUE

:D that is all.
